Seems like Nintendo has become a contributor to revitalizing a dying Japanese console market.
Mobile games me if old.
Here are the details for the time frame (December 26, 2016 to June 25, 2017):
Hardware sales: 76.51 billion yen (+44% year-on-year)
Software sales: 76.69 billion yen (-4.6%)
Total: 153.2 billion yen (+14.8%)
According to Famitsu, this is the first increase in three years in Japan's console market (when considering the first six months in a year).
It doesn't come as a big surprise that Famitsu is crediting the Switch for the improvement in the first six months of this year.
The new console from Nintendo (7974) was launched worldwide on March 3, but the three months it contributed to the industry were apparently enough to turn a very likely minus into a plus.
